Data entered into national police database accessible to American authorities: WikiLeaks

More than a dozen Canadians have told the Psychiatric Patient Advocate Office in Toronto within the past year that they were blocked from entering the United States after their records of mental illness were shared with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Lois Kamenitz, 65, of Toronto contacted the office last fall, after U.S. customs officials at Pearson International Airport prevented her from boarding a flight to Los Angeles on the basis of her suicide attempt four years earlier

However, if you read the article, people who may have been treated for depression (among other things) in the past are being turned away.

The Canadians are trying to say that it’s people who have had contact with the police. But that seems to be a lie, as people who have never had contact with the police, are discovering that their medical records are being shared with DHS.

To tell you the truth, I’m a lot more concerned with the way the Canadian health care system deals with the “mentally ill” than anything.

My ex girlfriend was taking Paxil for depression but there was virtually no oversight. It was prescribed for her, an initial follow up was made a few months later, then it was delivered to her door with no oversight for at least two years.

(A vote for Amnesty is a vote for a Permenant Democrat majority. ..Choose well.)

Example: A person loses their spouse and gets treatment afterward for depression. 2 yrs later, they want to come to the U.S. to vist their grandchildren. They apply for & receive a visa and then get turned away at the airport.
That’s really screwed up.

The Canadians have a game they play called THE DANCE OF THE FLAMING ASSHOLES. They have two naked guys stand on opposite sides of a street and they run a string of toilet paper from one guy’s rear end to the other guy’s rear end. Then, they light the middle of the toilet paper string on fire. Each guy has to drink a pitcher of beer and then scoot his butt across the pavement to remove the toilet paper or put out the fire. Canadians - they’re all a little bit crazy.
